Fantasy Island of Heroes

  • Monkey85_Kitako 1.jpg INTRODUCTION

    Makuran, island of heroes.

    A place of legend, but not myth. Once, a race of humanoid beings known as torens walked the earth; beings said to share traces of blood with the gods who rule the heavens. Though their power may have been great, so too was the risk of proudly bearing their name. Due to the inherent dangers they posed to mankind, they were often marked as priority targets and steadily began to dwindle in number during warfare. Sages of their kin sensed that if things did not change, their existence may be entirely erased -- and so they combined their forces, using powerful magic to carve out a tremendous plot of land once held by the now venerable kingdom of Linwar.

    That land now floats high above in the sky, no longer reachable by any means; even to themselves. Anyone who descends to the surface will find themselves unable to return home. Although the population of torens down below have now all but fizzled out, on this island they thrive amongst their fellow humans and demihumans; but not without adversity. Most live out peaceful lives in Makuran. Resources are abundant. Conflicts are swiftly quelled. The standard of living is, frankly, extraordinarily high.

    But the island is small. Restricting. Perhaps even suffocating to some. Not only that, but its inhabitants are made well aware of the troubles in the world that exists beneath their tranquil home: War, corruption, slavery, famine, disease -- some are unable to ignore the call to action, not while they have the strength of gods coursing through their veins, ready to help others when needed. They lived in ignorance, wasting their true potential by hiding in fear from everything... such thoughts were had between adolescent torens as they gazed wistfully beyond the edge of their little green rock.

    This story is about your descent.

    PLOT

    Every year, the Makurans hold the Falling Star Festival, celebrating the departure of their loved ones into Alatoa -- the surface of the planet upon which all life originates. A select number of humans, demihumans, and torens who live amongst them gather their willpower to venture into the great unknown, saying their last farewell to their friends and families before leaving them behind forever.

    Upon arriving, you have been instructed to find the nearest settlement, make a name for yourself, and explore the world to your heart's content as you see fit. And, if possible, venerate the name of the torens as heroes so that the island may one day finally rejoin with the mainland with peace of mind. However, something else is brewing... the nations are at war, and a pack of impressionable young torens is just what they are looking for.
